Australian Native Wildlife – Granny’s Cloak Moth
March 2nd 2009 11:38
In the bush, adults hide in hollow trees and caves during the day, emerging to forage at night. In suburbia they favour dark rooms such as sheds, closets and under staircases.
They are usually found singly, but occasionally occur in large numbers. Caterpillars and their food plants are undetermined, but they are believed to breed on wattles. According to the CSIRO, Granny's Cloak Moths are present throughout NSW, QLD and NT.

There are several thousand kinds of moths on the Gold Coast belonging to more than fifty families. Moths are more diverse than butterflies and relatively little is known about their behaviour.
